Education
-----------------

Summary: After completing the multidisciplinary International Baccalaureate I went to Sussex University and studied Human Sciences.

My degree was brilliant, and provided me with the ability to question everything, analyse multiple perspectives, all backed up, of course, with a rigorous base of research, debate and writing practice.

I also worked on the campus magazine, defining my passion for writing, and took it further with some internships and science writing for the biology bulletin of the campus.

After graduating I went to live in Barcelona, took short TEFL course to teach English and set about learning all about the English language. I also learned how to speak Spanish and now Catalan.

After my first child was born I started to work freelance as a writer and journalist, and then got a regular job as a content manager for a luxury hotel website. Since then I have diversified my writing skills to include editing and reviewing, and some translation work.
